Reads to this register behave normally. Writes are slightly different in that bits can be
cleared, but not set. A bit is cleared whenever the register is written, and the data in the
corresponding bit location is a 1. For example, to clear bit 14 and not affect any other bits
in the register, write the value 0b0100_0000_0000_0000 to the register.

0
This bit is set whenever the MPC8240 detects an address or data parity
error, even if parity error handling is disabled (as controlled by bit 6 in
the PCI command register).
0
This bit is set whenever the MPC8240 asserts SERR.
0
This bit is set whenever the MPC8240, acting as the PCI master,
terminates a transaction (except for a special-cycle) using master-abort.
0
This bit is set whenever an MPC8240-initiated transaction is terminated
by a target-abort.
0
This bit is set whenever the MPC8240, acting as the PCI target, issues
a target-abort to a PCI master.
00
These bits are hardwired to 0b00, indicating that the MPC8240 uses
fast device select timing.
0
This bit is set upon detecting a data parity error. Three conditions must
be met for this bit to be set:
• The MPC8240 detected a parity error.
• MPC8240 was acting as the bus master for the operation in which
the error occurred.
• Bit 6 (parity error response) in the PCI command register was set.
1
This bit is hardwired to 1, indicating that the MPC8240 (as a target) is
capable of accepting fast back-to-back transactions.
0
This bit is reserved.
1
This bit is read-only and indicates that the MPC8240 is capable of
66-MHz PCI bus operation.
0_0000
These bits are reserved.
